The old city of Malta is Mdina.
Mdina, often referred to as the "Silent City," served as Malta's ancient capital. Its history stretches back over 4,000 years. This fortified city, perched on a hill in the center of Malta, offers stunning panoramic views of the island. Its narrow, winding streets and baroque architecture create a unique and captivating atmosphere. Unlike Valletta, the current capital, Mdina retains a sense of timelessness and tranquility. You can explore its history through the St. Paul's Cathedral and the various palazzos that once housed Maltese noble families.
